Subject: Re: US players needed...
Hi there, welcome to the bbs
Indeed we need more US players. Feel free to spread the word

Is not.. many people here seem to life in the night. Beside that I play Vendetta Online that is played usually only by US-players.
> So, here are the questions I've got:
Shoot.
> Can MAX be played via IPX emulation in DosBox reliably?
I do not think so because Micro$oft b0rk3d freakin IPX backward compatiblity. You may try dosemu running linux. I'd try for myself but I had no testpartner yet
> What are the bugs Interplay left in the multiplayer code?
Out of sync bugs and some savegame bugs. There is no way to play it stable for a longer time. The russians decided to play by mail instead exchanging savegames.
> What is MAX Reloaded, and what are the project goals?
Dude.. seriously. Look to the left. There is a whole box named "M.A.X. Reloaded" and it's completly avaible on english. Don't make me copy the links to the bbs for you and open your eyes for yourself
> What are the chances of getting the project ported to VC++ 9.0?
'cuse me.. What do you need by ported? MAXR is os-independent and can be compiled on any operating system that has libSDL support avaible (however we got no mac version done yet). The IDE of your choice has nothing.. absolutly nothing to do with that. There is however a guide on english avaible in the wiki using MingGW (free IDE compiler using GCC) for windows. You may try that or stick with the binarys.
>What are the chances of getting the wiki translated to English?
About zero. maxthegame.DE started as a german community for MAX. Over the time the focus of the website changed and the wiki is a relict from old times and is about to die. Texts are going to be integrated in the website itself over the time. The MAX wiki has absolutly nothing to do with MAXR beside hosting two or three articles about MAXR. Everything you need to know about MAXR is already avaible on english or can be asked on the bbs
